Denmark

 

 

On Thursday we packed up from our 'home' for the last 10 days in Bullsbrook in Garry and Alison's shed, and headed south to Denmark. This is 400km south of Perth and should be about a four hour trip. Garry and Alison both had a job to do in Perth City first. Alison had a pair of shoes to collect from Myers. These had been flown in from Sydney for her as the Perth shop didn't have her size in the pair she wanted. The saleswoman was a very helpful person, and had arranged to met us outside Myers to save us finding a car park in downtown Perth. A phone call to her 7 minutes before we arrived saw her waiting patiently for us, shoes in hand. What a wonderful service.

 

We then started our trip south but it seemed to take us an age to get out of of the city and onto the highway. We got to Manduah about 1:30 where we stopped for lunch. This is a lovely seaside town 70km south of Perth.

 

From here we continued south and because this road was the the scenic route our cruising speed was slower than had we been on the more direct road. We finally arrived down here at 7pm, ten hours after leaving home. Alison had booked a holiday house for us to stay in. It is an amazing place, with five bedrooms, two living areas and great views out across the river inlet.

 

 

 

 

Denmark is a small town with a population of about 7000, named after an early explorer, Dr Alexandra Denmark, and not the country. As it on the southern-west coast corner of Australia it is subjected to a higher rainfall than the rest of WA so the vegetation is much greener. There are lots of beef and sheep farms. The township has good shopping and plenty to do and see.
